Body fat test

[ironlifter36]

When I got my fat calipers I discovered what a fat f*** I was at that time. I did the math and discovered how many pounds of fat I was carrying around. Seeing that number brought me back to reality and provided the motivation I needed to get serious about my diet/nutrition. Nowadays, I more or less judge by how I look in the mirror and go on that.

Hold up, hold up, hold the hellup! Dexa can be so specific that it tells you WHERE you gained or lost muscle/fat. Hydro is great, but Dexa offers so much more information wise. Muscle, fat, bone density... Calipers suck, might as well get one of those electric scales that'll get you within 2-3%.... and hydro... yeah if you can find one near you sure. I didn't even read everything posted, but shit I love dexa scans... specifics are what matters and nothing is more specific than dexa.

dexa $150 usually first time and $75 follow ups, I pay $50 because I go every month... and the receptionist has a fetish for swole caramel chocolate... don't judge me.

Just for the other side of the coin, some us arent searching for the holy grail of low BF. I spend 3-4 hours in 42d water, and less than 20%BF I'll go hypothermic, and at 300ft, thats seriously no bueno.
